const add = (a, b) => {
return a + b;
}
const add = (a, b) => a + b
const add = a => b => a + b
EDIT: I know it's a contrived example, but I was just curious if my understanding is correct. I also found this page in the nomicon about casting: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/casts.html
EDIT2: As I thought casting a `usize` which is 64-bits to a `u32` causes it to be truncated and hence the assertion is always true. Further by using a number that's bigger than a `u32`, this example contains undefined behavior. This is due to the use of `slice::from_raw_parts` where `self.samples` is left as a `usize` and hence takes a much bigger slice than what was allocated (the leftover of the truncate operation). I made a small playground which demonstrates the segfault. https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio.... The assertion should rather be:
Don't get me wrong, I think the blogpost is a great explanatory article about memory ordering and the example is rather contrived. I just wanted to reassure myself that my understanding was correct and further perhaps help someone not seeing this issue (as this is a very easy trap to fall into).
